In Director Ryan Murphy's movie
adaptation of Larry Kramer's Tony-winning play about the early days
of the AIDS epidemic in New York City, Bomer plays Felix Turner, a
closeted fashion reporter for The New York Times.

“It's so beyond exciting,” Bomer
told TVLine.com of his supporting actor nomination. “I'm just
so grateful and overcome with excitement. It's a surreal moment, but
I'm incredibly happy that the film was acknowledged in the way it was
and that so many of the people that worked so hard on it were
acknowledged as well.”

Parsons reprised his role of gay
activist Tommy Boatwright from the 2011 Broadway production.
